Abstract. This paper presents several examples of MEMS-switched reconfigurable antennas for frequency-diversity and pattern-diversity. For each example, theoretical and measured results are presented. The MEMS-switch is a packaged single-pole single-throw (SPST) DC-contact series-switch providing very good RF performances from DC to 30 GHz.
